The Under-represented Voices Project started in 2020 from a commitment to working with narrators that can represent the texts they are reading!  This meant reaching out through Social media and offering free training in recording and voice alongside standard narration wages to make the project as open as possible to diverse talent.

Since beginning in 2020 we have produced 14 audiobooks working with authors, theatre students, radical publishers and amazing individual talent. We would like to give special thanks to Metonymy Press for connecting us with so many of your talented (and award winning) authors and Anna Leventhal for sharing in your networks!

Here are a few highlights from the project:

• Black Writers Matter, edited by Whitney French, with narration by Espoir Segbeaya (you can also hear Espoir in What We All Long For by Dionne Brand)
• Small Beauty, by Jia Qing Wilson-Yang, narrated by the author. You can learn more about Jia Qing Wilson-Yang on twitter.
• Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes, by Kamal Al-Solaylee, with narration by Eli Tareq
• Divided Loyalties, by Nilofar Shidmehr, with narration by Mahta Riazi
